Do you have a Revolutionary Patriot in your family tree?
To become a member, a woman* must be at least 18 years old and be able to prove blood descent from a person who rendered patriotic service during the American Revolution. Membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution honors and preserves the legacy of your Patriot ancestor. Your ancestor did not have to fight in the American Revolution for you to be eligible. Perhaps she/he provided food or shelter for the troops or was a citizen who signed an oath of allegiance to the new country. Many contributions are acceptable.
We celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion in our chapter, and welcome eligible members regardless of race, faith, culture, background, orientation, relationship/family status, or income level. Learn more about recognizing minority patriots within the DAR.
*Membership is open to individuals whose original or amended birth certificate indicates their gender as female. Membership is not limited to individuals assigned a gender of female at birth.
To begin your journey, start with what you know.
